Have been using Barca 2.8 for about a week. Imported calendar from Outlook but find that I cannot DELETE or correct any entries.
The entry will delete and correct in current session, but when Barca is shut down and later reopened the deleted and corrected entries are back as they were before previous actions.

either calendar.dat file is read only, check it using Windows Explorer, select the file, right click and choose properties, and make sure that read-only attribute is not selected.

Or, maybe you are on Windows Vista and your Barca data are stored under Program Files path, ie. where Barca is installed - that's not recommended for Vista. In such case, in Options (through menu Tools > Options), Directories page, there shall be a link to migrate data to Vista compatible directory.

However, I have now established the reason for being unable to edit and to delete.

It appears that the barca .dat file imported is missing an eventID. number (which appears to be a hexadecimal number?).

By simply entering an arbitrary number, saving the file, then re-opening Barca I could now edit and/or delete the entry. But because I don't know which numbers to enter, adding more event numbers gave unpredictable result where several entries ended up on the same date.

Deleting the entire dat file and reentering the calendar data seems to be the simplest way.

..... unlessw there are other suggestions on how to generate eventID numbers?

Hi Ben, I don't have any VCS data quickly available for a fast test right now, but so far I was helping with few VCS file imports and don't remember hearing about similar problem. Maybe it might disappear if other converter is used:
